What is the PoE budget and power setup?

Total PoE budget is 1480W with dual hot-pluggable redundant internal power supplies. Maximum consumption is 170W without PoE. This ensures full redundancy and powers up to 48 devices at 30W each, ideal for APs and cameras.

What are the switching performance specs?

Switching capacity is 2080 Gbps full duplex with 1549 Mpps forwarding rate. Supports 32K MAC entries, 128K IPv4/IPv6 routes, and 4K VLANs. Handles enterprise traffic efficiently with low latency.

Does it support stacking, and how?

Yes, via VSX Virtual Switching Extension up to 10 members. Provides simplified management as a single logical unit, with high-speed stacking throughput using the 50G ports.

What management features are available?

Includes Web GUI, CLI, Aruba CX Network Analytics Engine (NAE), and REST APIs. Supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RMON, sFlow, NetFlow, BGP, OSPF, VRRP for advanced monitoring and automation.

What are the physical and environmental specs?

1U rack-mountable (17.44 x 16.93 x 1.73 in, 10.45 lb / 4.74 kg). Operates 0°C to 45°C, 5-95% humidity non-condensing. MTBF of 2,217,000 hours ensures high reliability.
